In order to apply for a Brazilian visa, you need to fill in the online visa application form and print the Visa Request Form Receipt (RER).

The Consulate will only accept applications in which the required documents have been uploaded.

Please see bellow some tips on how to upload the required documentation:

1) BEST BROWSER:

The current version of the online visa application form performs better in the internet browser Mozilla Firefox.

2) CELL PHONES AND TABLETS: The application form webpage may not work on cell phones and tablets. We recommend that you use a laptop or a desktop computer.

3) UNTRUSTED CONNECTION:

When accessing the form, should your browser display a message saying the ‘connection is untrusted’ or not secure, please disregard it – it is safe. Add the exception in order to be able to proceed (‘Add Exception’ > ‘Confirm Security Exception’).

4) ENABLE POP-UPS:

In order to be able to upload files to the form, you must enable pop-ups on your browser. Go to your browser’s preferences to disable blocked pop-ups.

5) UPLOADING FILES:

When you reach the Upload tab of the form, notice there are ‘choose file’ buttons for both the photo and the signature, but not for the scanned documents. Always make sure your files comply with the specifications below before starting to complete the form.

6) SELECTING A DOCUMENT:

Once a document is selected from the drop-down menu, a dialogue box should open for you to select the file location. If pop-ups are blocked, the dialogue box will not open, and you will not be able to select the file you would like to upload. Make sure pop-ups are unblocked.

7) FILE SIZE:

The upload capacity is of approximately 2Mb. Please make sure you upload as many files from the list of required documents as possible. Remember to submit all original documents at the Consulate during your interview.
